Problems printing with OS X Lion and 4.1.18 ***SOLVED***
I've read and read all the workarounds to get my Canon MP530 printer via my NV+'s print spoller to work under Lion. I've tried every configuration of drivers and "tricks" to get the printer to talk to...
After tinkering for several hours trying to get my Canon MP530 working, I *think* I've advanced my cause, although I've yet to print anything.
I got rid of all the printers I had defined over the past couple of days and started with a fresh one. This time, when initially choosing the printer I selected "Add other printer or scanner". Then from the next screen I choose "Windows" and waited while the NV+'s spoolers showed up in the network. I chose *that* printer (which is named Canon MP530) and printed a test page. The document seemed to process through the stream until its status shows "On Hold (Authentication Required)" and stops there. I think that it's waiting for me to enter the Windows network's smb id/password, but I've never set one up, nor do I know what would happen if I should get the id/password right.
Does where I'm at now sound familiar to anyone? Where should this Widows password go?
p.s. - even though it seems the print is waiting for authorization, the spool in the NV+ shows nothing in it.
